QuoteReplyTopic: IMORTAL FOOTBALL CLUB ALBUFEIRA Posted: 30/August/2011 at 13:54

To begin season 2011/2012

Imortal play at the Albufeira Municipal Stadium. Games are on Saturday afternoons, normally with a 3pm kickoff. Admission was €2,50 for adults last season. Don't know what it will be next season. There are no programmes and there is no club shop. There is a bar.

The League season begins on Saturday 1st October. Fixtures are due out on Tuesday 6th September and will be here as soon as I can write them up.

Pre-season games are normally played behind closed doors to avoid having to pay for police attendance. If I find out about any, I will put details here. Most clubs will only be starting their preparations this week.

The other Algarve League teams in the immediate area are Guia and Ferreiras. Their fixtures and results will be published every week.

Bad to note that there are only nine teams in the Second Division this coming season. Paderne and Sambrazense have not entered, the latter despite finishing second in the Division Two and being promoted. No-one was relegated from the national leagues following the demise of Beira Mar de Monte Gordo

Many years ago I suppoted the Imortals but now I live in Aljezur I now follow them. Last year it was good to visit the old ground, sadly we were the whipping boys and found that we were relegated to the 2nd Div. But, we will be back!

Thanks for that Cubsur. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game. I reckon its the same standard as a Scottish second or third division game as i have seen plenty of them.

We (Imortal) were a little bit unlucky to loose that late goal as we had a chance to clear the cross. I will not complain about the woman linesman as I would be banned from the forum (Remember what happened to Andy Gray and Richard Keys).

I look forward to your reports and pics of the Imortal games to come this season.

Thanks for the link to the game. As for the leagues, they should have dropped a couple of other team to level the 1st & 2nd divisions.

Now the lady linesman, I think the other year she was a ref and broke her arm whilst Aljezur were playing Quarteira. She ran the line last year at one of our matches, at first she was good but after a while her view of the game differed from both sets of supporters!

I will watch the Imortals porgress via this site and :http://www.footballzz.com/edicao.php?id_edicao=25803

To save me wearing my "yellow" Belper Town shirt for the Match on the 15th V's Ferreiras,

Do you think the club shop will be open and is it at the ground? any idea of the price? I'll bring the correct money.

Also, anyone fancy meeting at the ground for beers and footy talk?

Also, Also, as I'm just a footy fan , I read another post (which I can't now find) stating that Ferreiras is only 2 miles away, and they are at home on the 22nd V's Lusitano, Is it walkable? bus? or best in a cab? I could get another game and shirt while I'm over! (If you know where I can just get the Ferreiras shirt would be helpfull)

The Imortal club shop is inside the ground. I don't know the price of the shirts for certain but I think I heard the chaps last week say 40 or 45 Euros, but don't quote me on that.

I will be at the game v Ferreiras on the 15th but will precede that by watching Liverpool v Man Utd at Floyd's Bar, which is about 10 minutes walk from the stadium. You would of course be welcome to join us there for some erudite discussion.

The Ferreiras ground is about 3 miles from the centre of Albufeira. There is a bus (Linha Laranja or Orange Line) every half hour from the main bus station, which stops about 100 yards from the Ferreiras ground. These go at 10 and 40 minutes past the hour and take about 10 minutes to get there. If you are not within walking distance of the bus station, there are other city buses to get you there. The fare is €1,10 and your ticket can be used on different buses for up to 1 hour.

Buses come back at 5 and 35 minutes past the hour.

I will tell you more about that if needed.

I will probably be going to Ferreiras myself tomorrow afternoon, there being no other games nearby and with Imortal off away out in the wilds. I haven't seen a club shop as such on previous visits, although they did have a small range of souvenirs on show in the bar. I will see what I can find out.

BTW Ferreiras kickoff at 4pm, which does make it a bit less of a mad rush to get there after whatever game is on TV at 1245!

Brilliant Cubsur, will get a locator map of Floyd's and join you for second half of the game. Looking forward to meeting up, I will be wearing my Belper Town shirt for a photographic opportunety fro the Belper website. At least until I get my new Imortal shirt!!!!!

A very good game, well worth the admission. Imortal made up in enthusiasm and effort what they lacked in skill and experience.

Ferreiras ended the first half in front, courtesy of an error by the Imortal goalie who dropped the ball in front of an opponent. The first half was fairly devoid of incident but the second half was not.

Imortal were awarded an early penalty for handball but it was taken very poorly and saved. Ferreiras were much the better team and our goalie made up for his earlier mistake with two outstanding saves.

Ferreiras had two goals disallowed, the second of which one of their subs objected to so loudly he was sent off from the bench. Don't see that very often.

With fifteen minutes left, another handball in the area gave Imortal a second penalty. The defender was sent off and this time the penalty was smashed home.

A good crowd of around 350 gave both teams a deserved round of applause for a good game on a very hot afternoon.

Guia 3 Imortal 1 this afternoon. No mercy from former Imortal men
Roberto and Pipocas, who were both on the scoresheet as Imortal went
down to a better organised Guia side. This despite taking the lead in
the 11th minute from a penalty, below. More tomorrow.
